They then chose defenceman Cole McLennan from the Upper Canada Cyclones U18s with the 33rd overall pick in round 2.<\/span><\/p>\n <\/p>\n \u201cNolan is a strong forward who plays hard and isn\u2019t afraid to battle for the puck,\u201d continued Oke.\u00a0 \u201cCole is a physical defenceman who makes good decisions and is responsible in his own end. We\u2019re excited to see both players on the ice at Development Camp in the coming weeks.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n <\/p>\n Gerow, a native of Beamsville, ON, played in 32 games for the Hamilton Steel U18s this season, scoring 21 goals and adding 23 assists for 44 points, leading his team in goals and points. The 6\u20191\u201d, 186 lbs forward picked up another seven points in five playoff games for the Steel, scoring four times and adding three assists.

The 6\u20191\u201d, 180 lbs defenceman featured in seven playoff games with the Cyclones, scoring once. McLennan also gained experience at the junior level this season, appearing in two games for the Athens Aeros of the EOJHL, and 10 games (2 playoff games) for the CCHL\u2019s Brockville Braves.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n <\/p>\n \u201cIt\u2019s an incredible feeling to be drafted to the OHL by the Peterborough Petes,\u201d said McLennan. \u201cI\u2019m truly grateful to join the Petes organization and be part of such a proud, historic team. I can\u2019t wait to get to work representing the Petes family and give everything I have both on and off the ice.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n <\/p>\n Because the Petes opted not to choose a goaltender in the first two rounds, they would only make two selections in the draft.

Beyond his play on the ice, Colby was a quiet leader and respected teammate. One of the most impressive examples of his commitment and character is that Colby never missed a single game during his two years with our organization. Most importantly, Colby is an exceptional young man who represents our program with class and humility.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n <\/p>\n Lewington, a centre from Peterborough, also attends Crestwood Secondary School and played for the U18 AA IceKats this season where she was coached by Chris Moher.<\/span><\/p>\n <\/p>\n \u201cThank you so much to the Peterborough Petes organization for this generous award,\u201d exclaimed Lewington. \u201cI am truly honoured! I would also like to thank the Peterborough IceKats and my coach Chris Moher. I played for the IceKats for 11 years and some of my best memories have been spent on the ice with my teammates and coaches. Hockey is more than a sport, it has helped me make friends and develop skills off the ice! I am looking forward to going to university in the fall to study nursing at Trent University. Hockey will always be a part of my life and I hope to give back to the Peterborough hockey community in the years to come.\u201d\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n <\/p>\n \u201cOlivia was an exceptional captain for the U18 AA IceKats during her final season of minor hockey in Peterborough,\u201d said Moher. \u201cA proud IceKat for many years, she consistently demonstrated a selfless, team first attitude and led by example both on and off the ice.
